Hey guys, I was looking through the service manuals and it seems 93-97 have the dual upper timing chain however my 94 has a single.
I need to do my lower tensioner and guide but I'm unsure if they differ in each system? maybe someone swapped a newer motor in here? :gotme

Check the VIN number stamped on the block, see if it matches the car. If they don't match, you can run the numbers off the block and find out what car it's out of.
